So I have a few ideas running in my head. ATM the only thing in my house with a vent is the toilet. So I have a lot of work to do. I have read a few books and stuff online. My horizontal pipes will be sloped etc. My issue is with the flood line and horizontal run. I would be using at or less than 4 90 degree bends, and it would be a 4" vent.
ATM the 4" main cast iron vent is running up from the basement 2' from the bath room wall and right next to the toilet.
The goal is to Not have the main vent in the small bath room, and out the side wall not the roof.
My only issue is with the flood line level.
Look at the photo:
#1 is what I have now.
#2 and #3 are two ways i was thinking of running this out the wall ( would like to do one of these for now until i redo all the plumbing, less wall tare outs.)
#4 and #5 seem to be the way to go tho, as I could tie in all other vent in the utility room ( when i add them during the remodel that is over a year off).
I would love to do #4 thought the wall then up past the roof, but I think I may be stuck doing #5
note that # 5 would be above the flood line, but still in the bath room.
Looking for input, thanks for your time.
edit: I assume the dual band clamp you can use for the dwv drain pipe would seal as good for the vent / gas pipe?
